Vitiligo: Overview Vitiligo: This skin disease often forms on both sides of the body as shown here on the knees. Vitiligo (vit-uh-lie-go) causes the skin to lose color. Patches of lighter skin appear. Some people develop a few patches. Others lose much more skin color.
Removing and inspecting spark plugs tell you a lot about how well the engine is running and what may be causing problems. All spark plugs should be removed and checked every 30,000 miles - even if your BMW is low maintenance - you're told to change spark plugs at 100,000 miles. This prevents the plugs from seizing in the block, causing expensive repairs down the road. Always note which plug came from which cylinder.
Warnings. 1  Make sure you gap your plugs to the specified gap, unless the plugs say do not gap. 2  Do not try to change the gap of a plug that says do not gap. 3  Putting spark plug wires back on the wrong plugs will cause a poorly running engine, and may make you think you have bigger problems than you do. If you're having trouble locating the spark plugs, look for the black rubbery wires running around the engine. 2  Follow them to the end and you'll find the spark plugs. 3  Check your car's owner manual for the exact location of the spark plugs and the spark plug size you need.
